A HISTORIC

HILLTOP

RETREAT

View over Vallingegno - the Valley of Genius in Umbria, Italy

Suflora is a stone house built hundreds of years ago around a watchtower. Now, Suflora consists of two studios on the ground floor and a larger apartment on the second and third floors.

 

We renovated Suflora completely in 2023 and tried our best to retain its original charm and historic building features, like the classic vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, the terracotta tiles, and refurbished antique furniture. We combined them with new ones and used complementary colors in our interior design to make the original features stand out even more. 

Mosquito nets on all windows, dishwashers, central heating, private entrances, private workstations, and seamless WiFi throughout the entire house and garden ensure comfort and convenience. A washing machine and a dryer are at your disposal for longer stays.

Multiple terraces around the house offer dining tables for alfresco meals and lounge areas for relaxing. You'll also find  hammocks and benches in the garden, surrounded by olive trees, cypresses, rosemary bushes, lavender, roses, and oleander.

TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE: NATURAL CLIMATE CONTROL

The house’s robust, meter-thick walls and terracotta-tiled roof maintain a comfortable indoor atmosphere throughout the hot Umbrian summers that renders air conditioning unnecessary. 

 

Come winter, central heating in all apartments and additional wood-burning ovens in the Etruscan Suite and Hesse's Studio create a cozy and warm retreat against the sometimes crisp outdoor air.

HEALTHY BODY...

Suflora's tap water tastes delicious and undergoes revitalization through the Grander system, without the use of chemicals or external energy sources. Grander water tastes fresher and cleaner than untreated tap water, it can help alleviate certain skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis, and it can positively affect your body's cellular functions. 

The fresh air, the tranquility, the freshly-picked fruits and vegetables from our garden, and the Grander water make for a completely natural wellness retreat, designed to help your body relax, detox, and feel better.

THE LAND

Suflora’s 25 acres invite you to go for short or long strolls. Several paths lead you through newly planted olive groves, ancient oak trees, and always new-and-surprising views over the Valley of Genius.

A somewhat more challenging hiking path starting straight from Suflora leads you as far as you'd like to go.

A SANCTUARY OF PEACE

Suflora is a tranquil retreat exclusively for adults, ensuring a serene and undisturbed atmosphere. We'd like to ask you to please leave your children and your pets at home.
